Minneapolis has the y.,r,o advantages with

market, for .he manufacture If household li.fu:-
ture and domestic supplits. The Industry las
already grown 20 large dimensions. The various
furniture manufacturers made slrikl,t.r exhibit,
in the recent Exposition Of their fine lines of
goods. Minneapolis furniture is no, con rucd to
Western markets bnt is well-huown also in the
East. There is almest unlimited room for the
further development of this Industry herc-a
remark that applies with equul furce to various
other kinds of hardwood manufacture
properly summed up, would show n lar.c az.
srcgate The products of found-ies, machine
shops, boiler works anI general iron works grow
nj diversity and magnitude every Year. A :.cw
impetus within the past year has determined
the location here OF several large pnnts and the
iron industry will soon be doubled in extent.
Rolling mills. q steel plant nail factories. a car
wheel factory, etc. arc in the list OF new indus
tiles already established OF assured FOR the early
future. Although the ore from the rich iron
ranges of Minneota and Wisconsin now goes
East almost wholly, for reduction it will not al
ways be 50. The Northwest will convert its own
ores into pig iron and Besscmcr steel and nIa:.,,-
fhcturc its own rolling mill products and cast
goods.
On ''thc platform at the Falls is of the
most successful WOODEN mills in the country.
Minneapolis blankets arc unsurpassed by any

large portion of the wool product Of the Wcstan
Northwest should not be manufactured here
